Gino watched eagerly as Hera distributed gifts to everyone, even the maid Judy. He thought to himself that it must be his turn now!
He walked up to Hera confidently and was ready to receive his grand gift. However, to his surprise, Hera's hands were empty.
"What about my gift?" he asked with hopeful eyes.
Hera glanced at him and said, "There's none."
"Why aren't I getting one?" Gino exclaimed in frustration. "It's Christmas Eve, and you gave everyone else a gift except me? Am I not your brother anymore?"
Hera was at a loss for words.
In fact, those weren't Christmas gifts at all!
"Haha, looks like you have no place in Hera's heart. Even Judy is more important than you," Gideon laughed and said mockingly.
Gino was outraged. He turned to Hera and said, "I don't care. You need to give me a share right now!"
Hera declined. "No way. You're still growing, so it's not suitable for you to test the medicine."
Hearing that, Gino was puzzled.
Gideon suddenly stopped laughing. "T-Test the medicine?"
James was shocked.
Mildred questioned, "Are you using us as test subjects?"
"I developed these special pills to target some of the minor issues you have. I adjusted the data to reduce the side effects of the medication. Make sure to give me feedback on your condition after taking them," Hera explained.
Catherine had cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems; Lilith's issue was mainly due to poor circulation; Gideon's concern lay in gastrointestinal health; James suffered from stomach problems and hypertension; Judy had rheumatic joint issues.
All these conditions were quite common. While acupuncture could provide temporary relief from symptoms, a cure would require medication as well.
However, every medicine had its side effects. Therefore, she optimized the side effects of those medicines based on everyone's physical conditions to enhance absorption and metabolism.
